Betty McCollum

Betty McCollum represents something I genuinely respect in politics: staying power built on trust. Serving Minnesota's 4th district since 2001, anchored in the capital city of St. Paul, she has been returned to Congress term after term, which is no small feat. Being the second woman elected to Congress from Minnesota gives her a real place in the state's history. I am drawn less to flashy political moments and more to the quiet discipline of showing up, doing the work, and keeping a community's confidence over decades. That kind of rooted, consistent service deserves far more attention than it usually gets.
